True.
Going forward the economy should be better managed and institutions like this allowed to grow to bigger and stronger institutions for a bigger effect.
Imagine if the institution was a ksh.70bn asset base with facilities to cushion the sector in the range of sh.30bn

I do not think there should be taxpayer funds like these as much as facilitation with lenders. Hotels/businesses need to save up money during the good years for use during the lean years.

Many Kenyan businesses(wo/men) stretch themselves too thin with rapid expansion funded by debt or not enough cash on hand.

ARM comes to mind. Then there is Nakumatt. And many others.

I have become conservative with age. If you look at my investments, they are mostly (not all nor completely) cash positive. I am willing to accept a lower return for stability.

It may not be necessarily taxpayers funds but the hotels could team up,establish a fund where they regularly contribute.
So that during tough times it can be handy

The next 5 years will be challenging for TPSEA. This is not a good time to be over leveraged.
